Welcome to Audacity PD!

This session will provide a chance to build on existing skills by working collaboratively on a project of choice. Some possible projects could be recording a welcome to a new form student or an introduction to a course.

This wiki is read / write web which means that you can change and add to it by clicking edit.

The plan

• Work together in groups. Set up your groups by adding your name next to the groups below:
  • Forks group - Crystelle, name1, name2 etc...
  • Knives group
  • Spoons group
• Decide on your project.
• CSR1 should be available and will provide a quiet place to make recordings (perhaps the video conference room also).
• The idea is that you will work in groups on your project and then report back to the group in share what you have learnt.
• To help you get started you might like to watch the Audacity Tutorials linked on the resources page.
• A page has been created for each group on this wiki. Attach your voice recording to your page and make notes of anything useful you have found.
• Use the comment facility to comment on at least two other groups' contributions.
